Toshiba is recalling 340,000 notebook batteries. The recall affects Satellite and Dynabook models made between March and May 2006. Sony manufactured the batteries, but this time there's no risk of them to explode. The batteries just stop charging or discharge too fast. Most of the units are in the States (around 100,000 units), 45,000 are in Japan and the rest of them are in other countries.
